Coaching Points

The next variation starts the same way with the two players making as many passes down the ice as possible. The inside player (P2) needs to make sure they pass the puck to the outside player (P1) before the blue line and then they drive hard to the net. P1 will do an escape move around the tire and then carry the puck to the middle of the ice and take a shot from the slot with P2 in front of the net. After the shot P2 will retrieve a puck in the corner. The players will now do a series of drop passes down the ice. As they enter the zone the player on the outside will cut to the middle and drop the puck to the inside player. The inside player will now carry the puck to the outside around the tire and look to pass the puck back to the other player high in the slot.
